Sect of attack, as they did for the en3de of conclud ing i t ; One of the bind) Papers contains a pretended letter from Cadiz, stating that the English troops were about to re.enab;rk, in' consequence of the total want of spirit and discipline of the Spanish Sol _ diers; the letter adds, tint their misconduct at the =late attack on Matagorda, had completely disgusted the English. A more clumsy fabrication never ap peared in a public Paper; Accounts have reached this country of a date long Subsequent Co this pre tended Dutch letter, which state, that no idea of a re - embark:llion . was entertained, and the Spadish troops could not . shew any want of spirit in the de fence of Matagorda; because that Fort was most gal : . lantly defended by British troops. • The c ollowing Bulletin was issued this morning resPefl his Royal Highness / the Duke of Cum- BERLAND : " His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumatitr.

In addition to the American Papers which we 'mentioned yesterday, some more, and of a later date, arrived in the course of the day. They state, that the Juno had arrived with Mr. PINCKNEY'S dis- patches, but that they had produced no effect upon -*the American Gorernmenr. A Bill has been brought into Congress, for imposing a duty of 50 per cent. upon all merchandize imported either from Great Britain or France. The frigate the John Adams, which carried Out to America the account Of 131/014APARTE'S recent atis of violenCe against American property, had- not ar rived when these Papers were published. If We had not repeatedly witnessed how much the American Government is disposed to bear from &ance, and with, what exemplary pa - - tieu ce they submit . to every insult' and every injury which BrONAVARTE 'al 4y' think fit to inflict, fe should think (ha the intelligence, of which the .rohtz Adams is the bearet, would lead to a rupture between the two countries. If they- submit quietly to this new aEt of violence, we can only say, that BrIONAPARTE knows* bow to deal with the Amer-- oans much better than we do. EA&ItS of viz ELBE, MAY 18.—All private let ters from Holland and Brabant, unanimously con cur in stating that. the armaments in the Northern ports of France, as well as those of Holland, have been doubled since the presence of BUONAPARTE at Antwerp, and his visit to the sea-ports lately ,ceded by Holland.--.A courier has been sent to the King of Holland, with the peremptory request.to wait a se cond time on his brother at Antwerp. NAPOLEON has been observed, during the whole of his'stay there, to have frequently transaCted business in his closet with only his brother JEROME, formerly a French Admiral, his brother Louis, and the Mini ster of Marine. The King.of Holland, during his former stay, dispatched several couriers to Amster dam, &c.• with the most peremptory orders to em ploy a considerable additional nurnbA. of hands in the dock-yards, • and continue working on the ar maments bo[il by day,and night. Of their progress ' he receives, every day or two, a most minute report. During BLIONAPARTE'S stay at Antwerp, Couriers weret.;ispatehed to St. Petenburgli, Stockholni, and Coienhagen,whose Cabinets are, it is said, informed of tile treat maritime plans NAPOLEON intends to execute this sumtner, and io ,A blob:tile two above mentioned brotbers are bisonfidants. ' ' The Toulon fleet too is said to be quite ready for bea, and its destination is said to be Nl)les, where the army and flotilla arc in a most re- spectabl e s t ate ,_ and. expected speedily 16 sail on a great expedition, which though it may be guessed at, is, hocaever, so dexterously managed,. as to remain a perfect secret with regard to •its real object." Though the rumour of a war with Tur key has of late sotneWh v at subsided, yetait is certain that Marshal MARMOT (Duke of Ragusa) is to . _ command the French forces on the Turkish fron tiers in Dalmatia, and 'the Prince of Eckmuhl . , another in Crotia. • It- has been observed, that since the arrival of some French naval and military agents in Sweden, orders have been given to tit out a great number of gun -boats at Stockholm, and the armaments and preparations at Carlscrona are also increased. With this view the new Prince Royal goes to the South of Sweden, and proceeds as far as Helsingburg. Private letters from Paris say r ahat it is very pro bable the 'good reception Colonel M`Kenzie has re ceived from the French Minister Champagny, will Yesterday was the Duke of Cualeaaresarra's birth- .lead to fresh overtures for Peace.

The season does not yet admit of a re gular siege of that place. Giurgieu, Simmiza, and Rusa, on the deft banks of the Danube, are all in the best state or defence. They are mere'y otteiVs ed at some distance by the Russians.

It was explained that the instruc tions given to Sir JAMES., were to aauPon the letter of the Order in Council of the stl) lintiary 1807. As to the report .of any - dispute between the Ad 11-tinily and Sir JAME' SAUMAREz, upozi this subjett, it is wholly without foandation. We are happy to state that the Princess AMELIA is not worse. The Theban has been on a cruize along the French coast, and was off Bouiogne when that place was vi sited by BooNAt'ARTE and MARIA LOUISA, a few days since, when a salute was fired from the bat- I teries.on 'the cccasion, at which time there were manoeuvring in- the harbours about 2.0 brigs, two sloops, ten tuggers, and one ship bearing a Commo dore's flag; and the Thetan.was within gun-shot of the batteries, yet with this force they did not deem it fit to attack her.

A person of the name of Jacobs, who it has been stated was on a pedestrian journey of 500 miles in seven days, in the West of .
